An original wood frame and beaverboard triumphal arch was erected for the June 12, 1919, celebration honoring Lee County World War I veterans and Dixon's Company C, 123rd Field Artillery, 33rd Prairie Division. The deteriorating arch was replaced in 1949 and again in 1965 when Galena Avenue was widened. A fiberglass arch was erected and rededicated on Veteran's Day, November 11, 1985.
